Hi Guys,

I've booked in my car to go to race pace for a few upgrades :wave:

Just like to know if anyone has used Ben's custom clutch, and if so, could you please give me details on it. What type of cluth, HP rating etc...

I was told they are an Extreme Cushion type, dont know if its single plate or not.

Any feedback would be great :)

Thanks,

Husnu (Hus).

The new Xtreme distributor is Race Brakes, North Melbourne. You will be better off to order the clutch through them. I am sure there is nothing different apart from the price.

Send a PM to Chris (Scotsman) as he used the same clutch for his GTR, but bought it direct.

Nothing special about flywheels.

- If you want to maintain the friendliest clutch feel stick with the standard flywheel.

- If you don't care if the feel is slightly more tricky/bitey, but has a little better engine response go for a light-weight flywheel.

Do you know that for 100% certain Al?

If its custom, one assumes its modified.

As Snowy said, and as the forum words go. If its Benno's, it works.

Hus - i would just ask Ben. He would be the best person to talk to about what it is, what it consists of etc.

I think we all know the quality of work Ben does, personally id rather take my car to him knowing he wont stuff you around and you have backup service from an expert with GTR's..

You take out all the guess work if you take it to Racepace.

Any money spent at Racepace is money well spent from my experience..

Cheers

I have one of these Racepace clutches in my car, it drives nice, it holds my 300rwkw+, and they are reasonbly priced, what more do you want?

Take my advice, don't f**k around or it may end up costing you stupid amounts of $. If had of got one of these first off 2 years ago i would seriously be 5k+ better off. Long story...

I have one in my GTR as well, Ben gives you two options, one is a softer one but last longer and the other is obvious but regardless compare to all the BRANDs one, his custom one works as good and doesn't cost an arm or a leg.

I start to wonder if BEN is getting bored for not racing the RPMGTR and starting to speak as he normally doesn't :D.

Will we see you at Sandown ;)?

Pretty sure, i knew Vic, the previous Xtreme distributor :D.

By no means i am talking down Racepace, as Ben excells in this industry and has proven his 'formula' is a very reliable package. But a clutch is a clutch, you buy a good quality item and it sure will be reliable, nothing too special about it.

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
